I didn't attend Colossal but plan to go next year. This weekend I'm attending two events related to Video Games!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> 1. The Toledo Art Museum is hosting a very special exhibit on the history of video games!! It begun yesterday and extends through next Thursday. [<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1517039421858218/">facebook event</a>]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll be cosplaying Phantom R from the 3DS game, Rhythm Thief and The Emperor's Treasure.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> 2. The Bedford Library up in Temperance MI, is hosting their convention, and this year, it's Video Game themed!! I'll again, wear Phantom R or possibly Guy Cecil there, and will be heading up with my fiance and a friend. [<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/452414084873224/">facebook event</a>]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm so excited for both events and cannot wait to debut Phantom R!! I've been playing the game a lot recently, and am stuck on a super hard Rhythm. xD the most hated one R21. I'll be back on Monday likely for entries on how things went and photos. :)</span><br />

Next, is the exciting news that I'm finally attending my first con of the year!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's this month, only a few weeks away!! I'm super happy to go and have a cosplay planned.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm going as Ittoki Otoya of Uta Pri~ Casual as I only have the wig right now. I will though, be making some other outfits later on. I also plan to cosplay more characters from the show after Ittoki, so I'll be working on them in months.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Currently I'm watching the show before hand to see everything, I'm terribly behind on so many shows xDD</div>

I've been amazingly preoccupied with things in my life and am finally having time to get to this. <strike>I feel very sad, though by a certain someone calling me names.</strike> But, I don't want to get angry over it, as it's too small of a thing. <strike>Still...it was mean.</strike><br />
<br />
--Recap: The con was amazing, and I saw tons of friends, got Manga, had fun playing Tennis with Nekuou. <3 This won't be very long for now (I'll edit later on) but I'll give main points.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I saw many friends [Nekuou, Chizuru, and her sis, Adam, and more~]</li>
<li>Had a photoshoot inside with Hakuouki love. :3</li>
<li>Played Tennis</li>
<li>Danced at the Rave</li>
<li>Had Ramen</li>
<li>Took tons of pictures</li>
</ul>
<div>
These photos are all un-edited only because I didn't get to them in the time span I needed to, so why bother? Still, they're going up now.</div>

Several hours ago, Rob and I went out to the field near my house and the trees near the field, and had a small photoshoot of my Guy Cecil [Good Spirits] costume. It's yet another W.I.P as I need a correct sword, and vest. I will not wear it again during Summer OMG even as the sun was low in the sky the humidity killed me xDDD I'd rather do his swim attire, Aquatic Ape so much more~~ I'd have to get another wig for that though lol.</div>
<br />
Cosplaying Guy is very fun, and I've so far now done it four times, once at a party, at Youma 2011, both days I went, and yesterday during the shoot. :D He's a fun character, even with his phobia, and when I first played Tales of the Abyss for PS2, I fell in love with him upon seeing him come into Luke's room at the beginning of the game.<br />
<br />
I'm such a lucky GUY [haha] to have an amazing cosplayer as my partner, Alex. He makes the best Asch ever!! <3<br />

[I've become a big Tennis fan, and practice frequently~ I hope to possibly attend a Tennis event down in Cincinnati in August!]It's still very much working to be finished, as I need to actually MAKE the right bandanna, Finish hemming my shorts, and a few other things.<br />
<br />
We got some photos and a few are up on my FaceBook page >><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RitzyKun.Photography">HERE</a><< though I'll put my favorite ones here too.<br />
<br />
The weather was rather gloomy, and I felt chilly in the Tank Top and shorts sitting against the net with my racquet and Tennis balls. Since then I've bought plenty more of the little green things and want to have another shoot possibly in a few weeks. \o\ We'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
Taken from the Tumblr Post >><a href="http://ritzykun.tumblr.com/post/50225489534/happy-birthday-kaoru-kaidoh-w-i-p-kaidoh">HERE</a><<<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">"I still need to finish the shorts, and they’re short on one side and I’ll get actual shorts soon. I also need the jersey, but I’m likely going to have to get the whole shebang, I’ll likely cosplay a few others of Seigaku.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Being a W.I.P it’s not the best in these pictures. (my binding is off center, <strike>my hair isn’t right [I need it cut again]</strike>, and my shorts are still pinned. OTL) I’m such a nitpicker and really hate most of these but put ‘em up anyway.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">I got actual Puma shoes today as a birthday gift to myself, and they’re awesome. I also need to get new/more Tennis balls, and a new racquet, the one I own is about 9 years old. ^^;;</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">More photos will be taken soon, and hopefully it’ll be a better day. Today was kinda cold and a bit rainy though we got to the courts in time for some photos before we walked on our way home and it began to rain."</span></i><br />
<br />
Now photos!!!<br />

</tbody></table>
So, the shoes pictured above were bought specifically for both the costume and playing Tennis, though I need to get them stretched a bit, as they're tight in my toes, though they are my size. The 9s I tried on were too lose. and I wear 8 1/2<br />

Also, as I'm so into Prince of Tennis, I'm getting some friends to cosplay from it with me sometime in the near future!! Alex will be Tezuka Buchou, and Rob will be Momoshiro! :D When that happens, I hope maybe next year we can all go to a con as them and have fun Tennis times~~Ritzy-kunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13196235938654627264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173759017884970979.post-41222885429982245102013-06-08T21:38:00.001-07:002013-06-08T21:38:12.899-07:00[Cosplay and Convention Updates] 6.9.13--A lot of stuff has been happening with me lately, and I've kinda been in convention want for a while, since BASHCon in February. Being unable to attend both Animarathon, in March, and ColossalCon this weekend, in Sandusky has been slightly hurtful. Both were conventions I wanted to attend, but certain things got in the way of them both. Though some other cons are up and coming soon, and I hope to attend as many as I can!~<br />
<br />
--Recently, I've had a few photoshoots for some of my costumes, and I'll post those each later in other posts. This entry is focusing on the upcoming cons in the area, nearby state-wise, and what I'm planning to wear.<br />

----------------<br />
<br />
--16th<br />
<br />
I noticed today when I looked at my partial costume for Koga, his skirt was a bit too short long ways around, that will be solved by sewing scrap fur into the gap once I get lining.<br />
<br />
Might make a new headband, the one I have is cut sloppily, and I do have extra fur somewhere....I think. ^^;; All the parts are pretty much cut, I just need to measure again, and pin things to see about fitting.<br />
I made everything when I was thin....and now I'm not. I'm kinda not gonna wear him until I'm thin again, but I want to work on the parts I can try on and take progress photos of.<br />
<br />
Writing notes both on paper and computer, will get every piece step-by-step jotted down and summarized. Creation process is slow due to low funds and motivation haha....<br />
<br />
<i>More notes to come soon with photos!</i><br />

Early last year, I caught wind of an anime called Night Head Genesis. I had seen pictures on Tumblr of the anime and then watched it. After I had seen it, I literally bugged Alex to watch it as well, and he ended up loving as much as I did :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the story of two brothers, who have special powers due to being able to use the hidden 70% of their brains. Normally regular people, according to the show can only use about 20% of their brain. Naoto is the older brother and Naoya, the younger.</div>

So in light of watching it, we decided to cosplay it. I ended up throwing together a really bad Naoya cosplay in the early weeks of May, and took it out for a photoshoot with a friend.</div>

One of Naoya's I guess trademark things is to get flashes of horrible visions of event that cause him pain. When he gets them he holds his head screaming "Help me, Nii-san!!" xD I found that rather amusing.</div>

The day before yesterday, Saturday, I attended a Cosplay Picnic & Photoshoot with my friends. Now, mind you, when the terms 'Party' and 'Photoshoot' are mentioned among our group of cosplayers on Facebook, it usually triggers a response. Now, the whole thing was very last minute, posted days before the desired date, and though many said they'd attend, only around maybe 12 people showed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up waking up late that day, and quickly called my ride, (My friends Little Chris and Sempai) and they told me they'd be at my house in 30 minutes. Scrambling to make a Cup Ramen and get dressed and pull on my wig, a knock came at the door. THEY WERE EARLY! Letting them inside and getting my pants on, I headed out the door, after putting stuff away. Before getting out however, my Nana had put out some food for me to take, and $10! As surprised as I was, I just grabbed the bag and zipped out the door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the road, we stopped at Dollar General to get some snack items and I grabbed Bobby Pins, and a Coke, I needed something to hold back the bangs of my wig, which was an issue since they just fall into my face and I can't see. We ended up getting two bags of chips, and four Two Liters of Pop, put the stuff in the trunk and were on our way again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we got to Wildwood, we waited in what we thought was the Manor House, we had no clue the Manor House was actually further into the park. Cori, the party head, came to get us, along with some other people who had come for the walk. Some had to change into a cosplay so we left them there and headed back to where everyone was. As we walked, I happened to look to my left to see Alex, wandering around. He was I guess looking for a bathroom, when, lo and behold there was one set of restrooms close to where we were. xD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gathered around a bench we all chatted a bit, and said hello. A few minutes later, a Park Cop came over asking about Alex's Saitou swords, apparently someone had seen them and told the man about them. Everything was settled, for the most part, when we said they were made out of wood, and only props.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the Photoshoot part of the afternoon, Cori had gotten ahold of one of my friends from my Photography classes at Owens, Amanda! I was real happy to see her, it was nice. She was going to take pictures for us, and she got down everyone's name, character, and series. :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then suggested we should move, as we had a fair amount of people gathered now, and needed a bigger area. Cori suggested we migrate over the the Gazebo not too far from where we were, everyone agreed and we moved. Once over there we got settled and people grabbed cans of Pop Cori had brought, and sat down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty soon, Cori wanted to start shooting, and gave me her camera to use, which I was more than happy to do. <3 Amanda and I took people, one at a time out to the grassy area and shot them, having them do different poses and things related to the character.</div>

I really liked using Cori's camera, it reminded me of one I have, but don't use since it's a really cheap one, and takes AAA batteries. xD Then the time came for Alex to get a shoot, and I jumped at the chance to finally shoot his Shinsengumi Haori!!! (I'm pretty sure that's what it's called)</div>

After all was said and done and people had to leave, Shrimp and Scoot showed up xD They had gotten there late, but it wasn't too big of a deal. We all hung out, took pictures, and I shot video of us all derping around as usual, and Alex and them doing Maji Love 1000%, which I'll have up on my YouTube soon~</div>

So, back in March, my friend Chris A. wanted to hold a small party just for the heck of it, cosplaying was welcomed. On the day of, I got up and around to get ready, pull on my costume, and wait for Chris to call me when he was close to my house. I was in my WIP Kaoru Kaidoh cosplay from <i>Prince of Tennis</i>.</div>

Once my friends, who were also getting a ride from Chris came over to my house, and Chris came, we all got in the car and headed out. It was about a 45 min drive out to Oregon, and then we all piled out of the car, going into the house and into the basement.</div>

Anyway, I'm back to keep this blog updated and full of interesting cosplay shenanigans.<br />
<br />
To start off, I will give an updated run through of this and what it will contain, as I've been sorely absent from it for over a year and a half.<br />
<br />
<i>--This blog will contain, but is not limited to (each with their own entry):</i><br />
<br />

I recently acquired some pieces of my friend Alex's old Ed cosplay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was never going to wear it anymore, and I have always wanted to cosplay Ed so he gave the coat and the wig to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The coat he bought at a thrift store and modified it, using extra fabric to make a hood, but didn't get to hemming it. That'll be my job. ^-^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wig was his first sharpie dying he did the day before YoumaCon '09 and it's really bright ILR but it'll do for now, till I can get my own wig. ^^</div>

So March 26th was Animarathon 2011!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was amazingly awesome for all the bad crap that happened, but I still had fun. ^-^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent about 12 hours on my feet, taking photos and running around, with my Yusei wig on. Also I have a small gash on my forehead from my wig cap...I wore my wig for about 12 hours....I'll never do that again. >.<</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took 295 photos altogether. Although I would've had 300+ but I accidentally deleted the Howl and Sophie shoot I had. T.T Those were great photos....OTL And they aren't in my Recycle Bin. :< I digress.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">This year I will start my journey as a cosplay photographer and hope to have fun and enjoy every minute. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">W</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">ell, my main inspiration to be a cosplayer came with my love of the fandom of Loveless, upon getting volume one of the manga at the age of 10. (the back says 16+ lol) I slowly developed a love for the main character, and wanted to dress up</span></span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"> as him for Halloween that year.<br />
<br />
After a few years I found Malindachan on YouTube and watched her cosplay videos and wanted to become more immersed in the world of Cosplay and Conventions. I got back into the Yugioh fandom thanks to her, and Little Kuriboh. :D<br />
<br />
In 2009 I went to my first con. with my best friend. Even though it was a one day con. it was still a blast! I saw many amazing costumes and met lots of cool people. After that, my friend Kakumey and I (The friend I attended my first con. with) came up with an idea to make our own cosplay group, Isho-Cosplay, it's home base is on DeviantART and has almost <strike>40</strike> 70 members!<br />
<br />
Last year I wanted to start on a bunch of costumes, after re-watching Malinda's videos over, and over I became hooked on making costumes from the Yugioh fandom, and even make a fandom OC my alter ego in the Naruto world and cosplay him. I now have <strike>10</strike> 30 cosplays done, mostly though thrift stores and closet cosplay.<br />
<br />
I went to my second con. in June of 2010, I made tons of new friends and developed stronger bonds through cosplaying with people around in other states and countries as well. I had started on my Yusei Fudo cosplay (Yugioh 5D's) for the con. and had most of it done. My favorite aspect of the costume though is my wig. I put a week and a few days worth of time into it with a friend, and I've gotten many compliments, and some adults have even asked if it was my real hair! xD<br />
<br />
Also, in 2009 I got a camera for my birthday, and I immediately started taking pictures of everything. When I saw Katsuya Welller's work I felt compelled to try my hand at cosplay photography as well, loving the aspect of it all, being behind the camera, taking photo for big shoots at cons. and even doing side shootings with friends and getting a 'good job' clap on the back for taking great photos.<br />
<br />
As of now I will have been a cosplayer for four years. I will continue to develop and hone my skills in sewing, and creating things for cosplay, continue to hang out and make friends with people who share the same interest, and simply become a better person through it all.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">In 2009 I got a camera for my birthday, and I immediately started taking pictures of everything. When I saw Katsuya Welller's work I felt compelled to try my hand at cosplay photography as well, loving the aspect of it all, being behind the camera, taking photo for big shoots at cons. and even doing side shootings with friends and getting a 'good job' clap on the back for taking great photos.</span></span></div>
